I think you're missing his point.
He doesn't mean you need to make an attack roll each time you sustain the power.
He means that when you activate the power, you make a Cha vs AC attack roll. You miss; the target takes half damage. Next round, you sustain, and the target and adjacent enemies take 1d10 damage.
The initial attack can miss, without invalidating the sustain.

What i missed was the miss line... at least I wasn't the only one.
Regardless, I think that if a power that misses can be sustained *is* an interesting question, far more interesting than yet another attempt to take something worded slightly oddly worded and call customer service, then complain that said power is broken/doesn't work.
My assumption that a power had to actually work to be sustained... the fact that I overlooked sustainable powers with on miss effects complicates things. The fact that I didn't look at spellcasters as closely as melee classes does, as well.
